Good afternoon, Nigel. Man: Good afternoon. Woman: Nigel, you now own a very successful small airline on the island of
33、Alderney, but have you always worked in transport? Man: Well, actually my careers been very varied and I moved into transport quite recently. I started work at a bank, where I was responsible for dealing with investments. I then moved into electronics, where I ran a multi-million-pound company. Woma
34、n: So, why did you leave such an important job and go to Alderney? Man: Initially, I had no intention of leaving. I just wanted some free time before returning to the company. I originally planned to spend a year doing a book on successful businesses while staying with a friend who had retired there
35、. Woman: But Alderney is a very small island quite a long way off the south coast of England. I imagine you soon got bored. Man: Thats right.

37、e problem on an island like Alderney is that the best way to get fresh produce is to fly it in.

38、ists instead - carrying passengers earns them far more money than carrying freight, of course. Woman: So, what did you decide to do to solve the problem?

41、t of business experience, and a good friend of mine was involved in the transport business for years and he gave me a lot of advice. But the main thing really was that Id already had a years experience of flying and transporting goods, so I understood about regulations and so on. The company got its
42、 licence, and we made our first flight in January two thousand and two. In the first month, we carried thirty-eight passengers, but by the end of the year, we had totalled eight thousand. Woman: So, what would you say is the secret of your success? Man: I think it helps that were a small company run
43、ning a purely local service. If a big airline upsets a hundred customers, there are millions more willing to use them. If we have eight unhappy people on one of our morning flights, the whole island knows about it by the evening. So all our staff are very committed to giving a good personal service.
